PRESIDENT (TWO-YEAR TERM BEGINNING JUNE 1, 2025)

While nominations closed April 2, we are currently seeking to fill the position of President. The SKCGS board remains actively engaged in identifying and reaching out to qualified candidates. Please contact member-at-large@skcgs.org if you know of a member in good standing for one year who is qualified and willing to serve.   

South King County Genealogical Society wants a President who: 

• Provides overall leadership and vision for the organization, ensuring that it remains focused on its mission and long-term objectives. 

• Inspires and motivates the board, volunteers, and stakeholders

• Works closely with the board of directors, facilitating effective governance and decision-making processes 

• Presides over board meetings, sets agendas in collaboration with the Secretary, and ensures that board members are informed and engaged 

The President plays a key role in developing and implementing the organization's strategic plan. To do that, they work with the board, committees, and functional areas of operations to set priorities, establish goals, and create actionable plans to achieve them. 

TREASURER (TWO-YEAR TERM BEGINNING JUNE 1, 2025)

We are pleased to report that Michele Mattoon, current SKCGS Treasurer, will be seated at the May board meeting as Treasurer for the June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2027 time period.    

Since Michele is running unopposed, she is elected to the position by acclamation.  If you haven't already met Michele, we're pleased to introduce her.  

My roots are in South King County. I grew up in Black Diamond and am an Enumclaw High School Graduate, so being part of SKCGS feels like home, even though I now live in Seattle.  

Genealogy has been my hobby for many years and I have been learning and researching in earnest for about a decade. I’m also a member of NGS, NYG&B, NEHGS, The Black Diamond Historical Society, The Mayflower Society and the DAR, among others.  

I have been a member of SKCGS since 2018, and have served as Treasurer since 2019. It would be my pleasure to continue serving in this position.
